Adam Pcrslibakorof Randolph was in
town tills week. Ho says thnt now saw
mill ontorpriso of his about which so
many items havo boou published lately
is a fixed fact and that tho mill will in
ull probability cut lumber before Christ
mas; but tho Work of construction is
1 M M m imtm
not being rushed rapidly, ns thcro is no
urgent demnnd for It nt present. Tho
mill-site is opposite Machndo'8 fishery,
nearly midway between Randolph and
Bandon, on land owned by Porshhakor
nnd wlicro ho has good and oxtenstvo
boom facilities and an abundant and
convenient supply of fresh water. Tho
work In hand now is preparing tho
foundation timbers that are to bo laid
upon plica yet to be driven. Work
upon tho framo of tho mill will not begin
until in July, When completed the
mill will havo a capacity for cutting
about 12,000 feet por day, but tho mill
will bo constructed with a viow to doub
ling its capacity whenover- the demand
for lumber will warrant it.
A gentleman who lately pasisod over
tho new road that Supervisor Dimmick
is rapidly completing, toconnectMarsh
flcld with Coqulllc City, reports the
work as being well done. This is as it
should bd, for a good road will greatly
facilitate trade between tho bay nnd
tho river. The farmers of the Coquillo
need a road to the bay by which they
can come o or In ft day with n load of
produce, market it, do such trading as
they want to do, nnd return homo the
second day thus avoiding the delays
and necessarily exorbitant ex pcnf.es in
cident to getting from tho river to this
placo by the present portage with such
articles as they have to sell. And witli
a great reduction of tho expenses of get
ting to another market, and tho doub
ling of their facilities for buying and
selling, tho Coquillo farmers will find
themselves so much benefited by tho
new road that their end of it will be
kept in good repair, while the business
men of the bay will not pursuo such a
suicidal course as to lose that trade by
allowing this end of the road to retro
grade after it has once been opened in
good shapo. Supervisor Dimmick is of
tho opinion that this year's taxes will
not bo sufficient to put o'ur end of the
road in as perfect condition as tho trade
that it is expected to accommodate will
warrant, and if such bo the cobo it would
redound lo tho credit and tommercial
advantages of this placo If our business
men would second Dimmick's efforts to
open the road as it should be opened
by paying a portion if not all of their
nextyoar's taxes for tho work. They
would, without doubt, gain by advanc
ing the money if it bo needed. Tho
opening of this new highway Is a worthy
enterptise, and nil who contribute
toward it will only perform a duty that
they owo to themselves and which will
be duly appreciated by tho supervisor
and tho community at large.
A quiet wedding came off in this place
last evening at tho residence of the
bride's parents, tho contracting parties
being Mr. M. I. Pondergrass and Mrs.
A. E. Forslund, Rev. Irad Richardson
of Empire officiating. Tho bride's
mother is absent on a visit to friends at

After tho ceremony, the party drank
champagne to the health of tho happy

ous lunch prepared for tho occasion.
Tho bndo's cako was handsomely Je
corated with forget-me-nots and tho

Tho real estate transactions recorded

Wo have no hesitation in Baying that
this issue of tho Mail is printed on a
press that stands nearer a wild coon's
nest than any other printing press in
the world. Several months ago W. G.
Webster put a lot of wood-butchers at
work on ins building adjoining our of
fice, and while tlie aforesaid butchers
were banging and whanging around
Webster's place it often seemed to us
that thoy wero trying to tear ours down,
and ever since their departure we havo
felt very much inclined to bring an ac
tion against Webster for damages, for
he has utterly failed to replace divers
and sundry things that his men took
down and that he repeatedly promised
to put up. But, in going after Webster,
we arc getting away from the coons.
Webster's house, or Ilnnscn'B Exchange
saloon, stands too close to our office,
and In improving Webster's premises
bis carpenters evidently took boards
from our house and didn't fence against
coons, for as soon as the carpenters
quieted down around Webster's house
tho coons moved into and took posses
sion of our garret, and they bold the
fort till yet. Tho two houses appear to
stand just near enough to each other to
enable the coon to place his paws on
one and his back against the other, and
in this way ho goes up and down at will,
day and night, from our garret to the
mud-flats under the wharves along Front
street sometimes a-lisliing after clams,
in tlie daytime, when the tido is out,
and again after chickens at night, when
he don't care a continental cuss whether
the tido be high or low. This business
went on all winter, and wo didn't care,
for Crawford &. Lockhart inhabited the
front part of the building at that time,
and tho coons stayed with them, and it
was a happy family, until the ceiling
over Crawford's table sprung a leak ono
night, when he and somo of his legal
papers got wet. Ho didn't swear much,
nor very loud, but vengeanco took pos
session of his soul and the next day he
wont after the coons red-eyed, drove
them from their Quarters over his office,
and fenced up tho place whoro they
came in, after which peaco nnd quiet
ness prevailed while Crawford & Lock
hart remained our neighbors. Tho coons
had acted naughty with Crawford and
ho was mad, and they knew it; but af
ter awhile tho lawyers moved out and
then the coons moved in acain and lo
cated over our part ot tho premises, In
a cornor near tlie press, where there ap
pears to have been an immense increase
in tho family a few days ago. When
tho mother first returns from ono of her
foraging expeditions, tho uproar in the
family indicates that thcro aro a dozen
or moro ot them, and tho chirping
and squealing of ono little follow, who
seems to always get left and crowded
out, sound as if ho would make mince
meat of tho others iu short order were
ho only big enough to do it. When the
press first starts there is profound silence
in tho coon family for a few minutes,
but they soon become accustomed to
the noise and go ahead with their music
just as if they wero cosily quartered in
an old hollow tree. Yesterday tho devil
il undertook to raid tho don, but when
ho put iu an appearance tho coons kept
bo still thnt ho said ho couldn't find
them ; but thoy aro there, all the samo,
and chattered loudly and merrily at
him in less than a minuto after ho left
tlie loft. Wo suspect tho boy felt friend
ly to tho little ones, but ho hadn't lost
any old coons and did not fool anxious
to engage iu a controversy nnd combat
with tho mother. If some entorpnsing
urchin wants to go coon hunting ho cun
find a hot trail by applying at this office
to-day.
Lator particulars of tlio capsizing of
tho ship Earl of D.ilhousio at San Fran
cisco say sho was in tow of the tug Alert,
which was towing ahead, tho ship's
yards being down. Tho wind was
blowing Btrong enough on tho bay to
mako it difficult to handlo a loaded ship.
Tlio Drtlhousio had hardly clearod her
anchorage ground when tho accident
occurred, tho spot whoro sho sunk be
ing a littlo to tho southward of Mission
rock. The vessel lies In shallow wator nt
low tido. It is not definitely known
whether she was Insured or not, but it is
probable sho carried a harbor risk ; but
whether or no that was vitiatod by tho
action of tho captain is a mooted question
among underwriters, tho prevailing
opinion being that tlio Insurance com
panies aro exempt.
In 1803 J. B. Torbott of Upson county,
Ga living near "the rock," burled $1,-
500 in silver on his placo. It was placed
in a meal sack and buried doop. The
war over, ho resumed his plow, and for
22yeu.rs ho passed and repassed tho
place where the hidden treasure lay.
Tho locality Was marked undue could
havo secured it at nny timo. A day or
so ago, having-use for thnt amount of
money, Torbott took n friend along with
him nnd repaired to tho spot. Whllo
thoy know tho exact location, it required
nearly half a day to dig it up. When
the treasure was reached thero was not
a thread left of tho meal sack. It had
vanished. Tho money, however, was
thcro, though somo of tho coins had
sunk to tho depth of four feet from tho
